Good fit for the challenge. The fireworks are good but probably would go over better with the voters had it been on the verge of bursting out of the frame.

Good choice to convey the message. If the lighting was less harsh this would do better.

This subject just isn't going to do well in the challenge but to help improve it make the lighing more dramatic by making it darker and more moody. I would shoot this in a dark room with a spotlight from above giving the toy and hammock shape.

I thought this would have been way up there. Maybe you should have shot this in Iceland instead? :P

Strange how some want this off-centered while others thought it was off-centered. How can this be? Looks centered enough for my tastes. Speaking of which, the centered composition couldn't have been any more appropriate. It enhances the feeling of isolation. I also love how I can't read what looks like words on the ground which is good because they are not meant for me.

The only thing that would make this better is more Yankees in the shot. :P
